Today I found out that it’s actually a lot easier to contribute to Open Street Map than I thought. There are some serious gaps in house addresses in my area and I was painstakingly using the built in browser editor in the browser....
Hmm. I dislike that it uploads every thing as a separate change. I much more prefer editing the whole area and saving it as one neat package, rather than posting hundreds of “this is road is made of asphalt” posts.
So it’s not for me, but if that helps to make OSM better, I’m all for it!
Maybe I could make a separate account without neat history and from time to time click some icons in the app though. That probably wouldn’t bother me as much.
I know we aren’t allowed to use Chrome. We can’t use Brave. But how does the Lemmy community feel about the Vivaldi Browser? or is it still not Firefox…
I started using Vivaldi when they finally added sync a d the sync is a thing I have the most problems with!
I randomly get duplicate notes and bookmarks if I edit some.
It always feels like ages until things get synchronized between devices (e.g. tabs).
There’s this very prominent button in the share menu “Send to device” which doesn’t work at all (I’ve read somewhere that it’s a deprecated thing from Chromium, but why haven’t they removed it for several years it’s broken…?)
And also in past months it just randomly disconnected from the server several times on several devices, didn’t even notify me except for changing the sync icon (on Android you have to go to the settings menu), and for a reconnect, I had to enter the passphrase again each time.
I keep the modem from my ISP in its box with holes cut out for the cables. Even with LEDs covered with an electrical tape, it would just shine its blue blinking lights through all the cooling grilles and light up the whole bedroom in the night.
No worries, it’s alright, I put a few speed holes in the box for extra cooling and it’s been working for 2 years already. Also it’s just a modem, not my wifi AP. Having a wifi without an option to change its settings would drive me even more mad than bright blue diodes.

Anyone know how/if you can block the posts with one or more key words on lemmy?
Just curious if is doable.
How about Vivaldi Browser?

Everything has LEDs now and they drive me nuts
Why does every small appliance or useful home electronics item have the BRIGHTEST LEDs in them?...
